I finally tried Brother's Burritos after having it on my must-try list for breakfast. The location is convenient, tucked behind the Lighthouse Café and right next to the beach, which is a nice bonus! There's plenty of outdoor seating, although indoor seating is limited.
Unfortunately, the service left something to be desired. The staff weren't particularly friendly, which made the experience feel a bit unwelcoming, especially since it was my first visit.
My boyfriend ordered the Bacon Jalapeño Burrito, and I got a Breakfast Burrito with added sausage, along with a customized breakfast bowl with sausage, bacon, avocado, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and no egg. Sadly, the burrito didn't live up to my expectations. The eggs had an odd potato-like taste, even though there weren't any potatoes in the burrito. While sausage is an additional $1.50, there were only a few pieces, especially compared to the generous amount of bacon in both the burrito and the bowl. It would be helpful if they mentioned that the potatoes are sautéed, not fried. Also, the jalapeños in my boyfriend's burrito were poorly distributed--they were all at the bottom, which made the burrito unpleasant to eat. He ended up throwing the rest away. We were also confused about receiving two smaller burritos instead of one large one.
When I ordered the customized breakfast bowl, I wasn't informed that all bowls come with eggs by default, even the customized ones. I clearly stated the ingredients I wanted but didn't ask for egg. When I picked up my order, I noticed the bowl had egg, which I didn't want. I went back to ask if they could remake it without the egg, and the person who took my order wasn't very understanding. She just repeated that all bowls and burritos come with eggs, which wasn't explained to me beforehand. I politely explained that it was my first time there, and thankfully, they agreed to remake the bowl. However, the remake was missing the cheddar cheese I had paid for, and the medium hot sauce I asked for turned out to be salsa, not actual hot sauce.
The location and outdoor seating were nice, but the food and service were disappointing. Small improvements like better communication from the staff and more attention to detail with the orders would make a big difference.
